Injica how did you exclude the other species? I have similar spotting and searched for all the species but never found anything reliable.

Thank you injica, LaurenZarate and FaredinAliyevski!

Nice one, I have found similar from genus Conopidae but it's almost impossible to find which species exactly it is based on photos so best is to leave it with a genus name only.

Very nice find! This looks like a Conopidae, maybe this one? http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Conopidae_-_Sicus_ferrugineus..JPG
